Pakistan Deploys Marine Battalion At Gwadar Port Ahead Of CPEC
Pakistan Navy has deployed a special marine battalion for increased all-round surveillance at Gwadar Port ahead of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project.
“A special Marine Battalion has been raised for security of Gwadar, Chinese engineers and delegates visiting the port,” Radio Pakistan was quoted as reporting by Dawn news daily Tuesday.
“Gwadar, the main destination of the CPEC, will be linked with China’s western region through a rail and road network,” a Pakistani Navy spokesperson said.
Gwadar Port is the ‘backbone’ of CPEC and the Pakistan Navy making strenuous efforts for ensuring comprehensive security for foreigners as well as locals, he added.
An official agreement on the corridor was signed between the two countries in May this year during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s historic visit to Pakistan.
